A study of adults in South Carolina found no relationship between blood
cholesterol levels and the consumption of red meat, animal fat, butter,
eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese or whole milk. On the contrary, a survey
conducted by the Medical Research Council showed that men who ate
butter had half the risk of developing heart disease than those men who
consumed margarine.
Residents of northern India eat 17 times more animal fat than those in
southern India. However, they have a seven times lower rate of heart
disease. Eskimos eat a lot of saturated fat from fish and other animals but
they are virtually free from disease.
The French are another example of a group of people who consume large
amounts of saturated fats from butter, eggs, cheese, cream, liver and other
meats but have a much lower rate of coronary heart disease than many
other countries in the West. In the United States, 315 of every 100,000
middle-aged men die of heart attacks each year; in France the rate is 145
per 100,000.
Avoid Trans Fats
One thing is certain: the type of fat that should be avoided the most
is trans fat, also known as partially hydrogenated oil. Often included
in so-called “low fat” foods, this fake fat is highly dangerous. The main
sources of trans fats are processed, baked goods and fast foods.
